POLICY
By enacting the Sexual Offender Registration and Community Notification Act, R.I. Gen.
Laws 11-37.1-1 et seq., the State of Rhode Island supports the policy that if members of
the public are provided adequate notification and information about a sex offender who
has been or is about to be released from custody and who lives or will live in or near their
neighborhood, the community can develop constructive plans to prepare themselves and
their children for the offender's release.
In order to implement this policy, it is the policy of this agency to facilitate the
registration of sexual and other predatory offenders. It is further the policy of this agency
to provide community notification relative to the release of those offenders as designated
by statute, while preserving the legal rights of those offenders.
It is the policy of this agency to provide the maximum information authorized by law,
consistent with the requirements of public safety.
